Interestingly, if you could somehow leap that high, you'd drift only a few inches despite being airborne for over 10 seconds because both you and the ground are already moving east together at nearly the same speed.
Although this thread is ridiculous and OP probably didn't mean for it to be serious, this is a legitimately interesting factoid

You would have to have the wind speed and velocity, and if that was static or dynamic during the duration of the jump.
What about air viscosity?
As for things in the air ...

Absolutely, it would have an impact on the wind portion of the system. At higher altitudes the air would be less dense and have less aero effect on the body.
If IIRC, the aerodynamic drag equation is Fd=1/2 x p x v^2 x CdA, where p is the air density

If nothing mattered other than the earth spinning and you jumping
If you neglect all other acting forces and jump perfectly straight up, you would always land in the same spot.

You're never gonna land in the exact same spot no matter how high or low you jump.
